    You are fortunate to fund some relief from the treatments, Christina. Migraines are brutal. June knew when you were unwell, when you were happy, and that you loved her back. That’s a huge hole left in your life and heart. I hope you can add one happy, fun or funny memory to your thoughts each day until you are finding smiles before your tears with her memories. We’ll walk that path with you. Toni

      We DO think of you, Maureen. Trying to be positive is how we do it – one sweet memory at a time until we have a few, then more, until most of our thoughts are happy and grateful. It’s a process and only you can move through it, but you don’t have to be alone. We’re here for you. {{HUGS}} Toni

        Thank you for understanding, I do go for Botox treatments every 3 months. They have cut my migraines a lot. My June use to sleep with me and stay woo me when I had a migraine. She was beautiful kitty…

              Hi Toni, thank you for your concern. I guess I am doing okay. I have been trying to be positive. I am trying to move ahead and Im finding it hard. Life is empty without my Romeo and each day is is a challenge for me because there wasn’t a single thing that didn’t involve him. I still cry a lot. He used to be everywhere in this house and was a constant in my life and now it is empty. I will continue to try and remember the happy times of our life together instead of those last final moments and hope that with time the pain in my heart will ease.
              Thank you so much for thinking of me.

                @lauraledwardsgmail-com Laurie, Are you doing fairly okay? Please know you can talk to us. We’re thinking of you. I hope to hear from you. Toni

                    • My thoughts are lonely. Thinking of you Maureen.
                      • Brony, do you have family or friends around you? Would it be possible for you to visit a shelter and maybe volunteer to walk dogs or clean cages? Something to occupy yourself and be around people and animals? Toni
                        • I adopted crazy Lucy. When she isn’t stealing a hot dog, I enjoy watching movies with her. I am recovering from a stroke so as awesome as it sounds, I wouldn’t be any good at the shelters. I live alone with two friends, and no family. Even with this crazy cat I get down sometimes. Lulu was my inspiration, I was lost without her. But animals are the best, Lucy doesn’t even look at the walker as a weird part of me.. Don’t feel bad, at least I can talk and I’m working on my walking. I am slow at everything, but you know the saying, slow but determined. Like the rabbit and tortoise. I will keep going. God made me this way. He has a funny sense of humor.
                          • Brony, thank you . My thoughts are lonely too. I think about you too and hope you are managing with crazy Lucy. She sounds like a handful, but, also a very special. I know having her brings you a little joy and helps with your loss.
                            You have a great attitude and you will overcome the damage of that stroke. You may be the tortoise, but, the tortoise won and you will too.
                            I am pulling for you and wish you well xx
                            • Toni, I am grateful for your kindness and encouragement. Although, I am still having a hard time remembering happy memories of Romeo at time, I do remember them sometimes. I haven’t dreamt of him and aside from looking at his photos, I’m not able to see him clearly in my minds eye and that is disturbing to me. I’ve read that it might be because I’m still so full of grief. I am trying to get past this, but it’s hard when it starts over again every si g morning when I wake up and realize he is gone. The morning ritual is gone and is a constant reminder. I am better for sure and I am just taking more time than some to get through. But, that’s okay.
                              Maureen
                              • Maureen it’s because of people like you that make my days a little easier. Thank you. Believe me when I say it takes time. Take all time you need. I still call Lucy, Lulu. Thirteen years is a hard habit to break. My blessing to you.
                                • Hi Brony, I’m just checking in with you and hoping you are feeling better and that Lucy is helping you mend. Sending you lots of hugs xx

                                    How lovely, and loving of you Shawna, to have shared your home and heart for so long with Pickles and Bane. They never leave our thoughts and feelings, and we do miss them, but are you finding more smiles than tears with their memories? I hope so. Will you tell us more about each of them, please? Share some photos if you like. We’d love to know more about you lives together. We’re thinking of you Shawna. Toni

                                      June sure was a cutie, Christina, and she will always be with you in many ways, especially after sharing 20 wonderful years together. It just hasn’t been very long since you parted and the pain of parting is still raw. But do you find you are able to have more and more happy, good memories each day? Ouch – migraines. That is so tough and I am so sorry you suffer those. Have you tried Botox? I know a few people who benefit, and some who don’t. Worth a try? We meet online each month and perhaps you can join us August 17rh. I think you will find comfort and encouragement with our very kind and understanding group. Christina, please continue to keep us in your loop. We are here for you. Toni

                                        I miss my precious Pickles, she was sixteen when she passed February 4 th, 2020.
                                        Bane my dear boy was fifteen when he passed March 27th, 2021.

                                            Sorry I didn’t make the meeting, had a bad migraine. Thank you for your kind words…every now and then I see my June on the couch or our bed. I believe she is here…

                                              @momee Hi Maureen. Are you finding a little more ease each day? What are you doing to be kind to yourself? Staying busy and interested? We’re thinking of you. Toni

                                              Caryn, I love the names and thanks for telling us their meaning. I am sorry your family had to say goodbye to these two little darlings, but I am happy for the lives you all got to share. No matter how long we get to be together, it’s never long enough, is it? Have you or your mom opened your homes and hearts to others? If so, may we hear about them? Toni
                                              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 2 months ago

                                                Kristi, you don’t have to “cope” per se – you are aching in a very deep and real way and, although it hurts like nothing else, you do need to feel it. I found comfort with a stuffed animal to hold, kiss and cry on. Keeping some of Sioux’s things around may help. Sharing with us here hopefully brings you some comfort. We’d love to have you join our group August 17th. In the mean time, please tell us more about Sioux and her brother, and share some pictures (if it’s not too painful for you). {BIG HUGS} Toni

                                                  Oh my, Laurie. You have suffered so much loss and I am so very sorry. How long were you and Cupid together? How did you meet? Was he unwell? Are you being taken care of with the overwhelming loss of your home? We’re thinking of you and sending you not only our sympathy, but support. {{HUG}} Toni

                                                    You are clearly an animal lover and generous to open your home and heart to so many loves. Please light candles to each of them – it’s like sending them a little kiss. You can tell us more about Rocky or any of your others if you like. How are you doing today? The other Toni 🙂
